So, you want to play poker and get rich doing it. Well, maybe not get rich -- just make sure that you come home still wearing your shirt. You need to learn about poker strategy, because it really is as much more a game of skill than a game of chance.

For example, did you know that there were different strategies for single-table and multi-table tournaments?

For example, in a multi-table tourney, you start off simply trying not to lose. Don't get yourself wiped out early through a dumb mover or incorrect play. Hold back just a little bit, until you can either strike with a good hand or even back your way into the finals without having taken any risk at all. I've found that particular strategy to be useful in local tourneys, where most of your opponents are rank amateurs who will end up shooting their wads within a few poorly played hands. And even when you advance, you can still make a killing against some of your competitors because they have gotten lucky and somehow entered a pool that is much too deep for them. Indeed, the host gets it exactly right with his recommendations for conservative play in certain situations -- a lesson I learned the hard way when I was much younger and was sure that A-K could beat anything

Frankly, I like many of the tips that are on the site. If you are trying to learn how to play poker successfully, I don't think you can go wrong if you follow the guidance offered.
